Location from Severance by Dan Erickson
The company town — a small community built around Lumon headquarters where employees live, shop, and exist within the shadow of the corporation that owns them twice.
Kier is the company town surrounding Lumon's global headquarters. Irving lives here. Mark lives nearby. The town exists in Lumon's gravitational field — the company is the primary employer, the primary landlord, and the primary cultural institution. Living in Kier means living inside Lumon's influence even when you're not at work. The town is named after the founder. Of course it is.
A small American town that looks normal until you notice the Lumon logo on everything. Houses, shops, roads — all within commuting distance of the headquarters. It has the uncanny valley quality of a planned community where the planner had specific ideas about what contentment should look like.
